I need to know about my right to defend myself as it is applicable in Minnesota. I have a person making threats against me and my family, he assaulted me (unsuccessfully I might add), and threw a 6' tall Shepard's hook into our picture window trying to taunt me to come out and fight (I called 911, got him arrested, but he got out in less than 6 hours and is back in my neighborhood).
Will an OFP provide me anymore levity should I need to protect myself of my family with deadly force?
When can I use deadly force to protect myself in MN (does the perp have to be in my house or just on my property threatening my family or me / our property with bodily harm)?
Understood. Good luck and Godspeed. I imagine I would react in much the same way with my family under threat.
